Stack Materials Engineer

About EH Group Engineering

EHG is developing cutting-edge fuel cell technology for heavy duty mobility and large-scale stationary power applications. Our uniquely redesigned product is a significantly more compact fuel cell with high power density and lower costs of production. Faced with the challenges of climate change and the transition to a decentralised energy system, EHG seeks to provide high performance and cost-effective fuel cell solutions to our clients and partners.

To help achieve our vision of a decarbonised future we are seeking a Materials Engineer to select, characterise and qualify the materials that make our fuel cell technology more compact, durable and cost-effective.

• Select, specify and qualify materials for stacks (membranes, GDLs, bipolar plates, gaskets, coatings)
• Characterise materials and analyse degradation, corrosion and durability mechanisms
• Define material specifications, acceptance criteria and incoming inspection methods
• Work with suppliers to develop and industrialise new materials
• Support root-cause analysis of material and interface failures
• Collaborate with process, test and design engineering on material trade-offs and cost reduction
• Document findings and maintain the materials database

• BSc/MSc/PhD in materials science, chemistry, chemical or mechanical engineering is mandatory
• Minimum 5-6 years of materials engineering experience, ideally in fuel cells, batteries, coatings or electrochemistry
• Experience with material characterisation techniques (SEM, XRD, mechanical/electrochemical testing)
• Experience with various lamination, decal coating or others is a plus
• Understanding of polymers, metals, coatings and their behaviour in electrochemical environments
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Team player able to work autonomously with internal and external experts
• Excellent spoken and written English/French is mandatory;
  German is a plus
